The Neely Rubdown's Breaking Me Down

[foodnetworkaddict.com]

Okay, that Down Home with the Neelys promo of Pat Neely rubbing meat has been airing nonstop and it's driving me a little nuts.

You know... the "there is nobody that can give a rubdown like he can" one.


It's not so much the concept that irritates me--it has that PG-13 kind of sexual humor that's standard to their show--but the fact that it seems so difficult for Gina Neely to speak this slowly.

Watch:

There is nobody that can give a rubdown like he can

I can just picture the people working on the promo shoot telling her, "Take it a little slower... and why don't you try and take that 'like he can' part up a bit!"

It just sounds so unnatural and forced. She obviously never speaks that slowly in real life, so why try and change that?

Maybe they should have given Pat Neely the lines.

I think they could have come up with something else, but thought this would get people interested in watching. Didn't work with me, but then, again, I'm probably not their target audience.:roll:

You mean those double upscale women who have a fluctuating age from that other story?

I think that's one of the most offensive commercials on the FN. And I'm getting tired of them airing it so often, too. At least we can be thankful that she's not saying something about "meat" as well....cue the stripper music.


I wonder how their daughters feel about their parents sexual innuendos on each and every show. I'd be embarrassed as h*ll.

I would have been so embarassed if my parents acted like that, especially on TV. There isn't any amount of money that would have made it ok with me.
